I think part of the reason some people speculate on whether Clay is gay or not is because he's very slender, he has very fine facial features, small nose (for a man), a nice mouth, beautiful eyes, slim face.

Yeah, I think some people are just plain jealous! Even me but I believe Clay when he says he isn't gay.

[B]Yeah, I found that amusing. Simon says in one breath that he doesn't have to ask Clay about his sexual orientation, he can tell by just one look. Next thing you know, Simon's p*ssed because someone's sized him up in like manner.

I think it's sweet justice that now some people are question Simon C's sexuality! Time to get a taste of his own medicine.

It seems that handsome male performers with plenty of charisma get the gay question more than anyone else. Tom Cruise and Ricky Martin are just two that come to my mind that I remember seeing insinuating comments about. Simon's comment is grounds for libel but things like this and worse are said about celebrities all the time. I guess it's part of the price of fame.

I think Clay will learn to cope with it and in time the comedians and tabloids will move on to someone else.

Originally posted by barnet Simon continues to show himself as a shallow, insecure little man. He hides behind a defensive wall, shooting before he feels he can be fired upon. I don't find him clever or witty, just a pitiful bully.

You pegged him exactly! I call this "little man's syndrome". Many (though not all, thankfully) men of small stature take on these obnoxious characteristics. I think it really does have much to do with their own insecurity.

Clay, on the other hand, is very secure in who he is. I think if Simon keeps it up most people will see him for what he is.

Very true. However, are all the gays who "hide in the closet" wrong? Publicity and sponsorship and contracts seem to have an interesting relationsip.

Would anyone not bat an eye if it were rumored that so and so was into child pornography, even if that weren't true? IMO, anything that is not true, according to the person they are talking about, should be left alone. If it really didn't make a difference, then there wouldn't be such a buzz in the first place.
